Boothe on Ocasio-Cortez Rejecting Shapiro's Debate Request: 'Unable to Defend Her Policy Positions'

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is taking criticism for comparing Ben Shapiro's debate challenge to "catcalling."

u2good2b4gotn Trump killed Clinton during the debates, he has made a lot of the things he's promised happen, there hasn't been any proof with collusion after almost two years. He's a president that will stand up to you idiots and put you all in your place and you can't handle it....You're still sore about Clinton losing and nothing you say, do will make it better. Let it go, snowflake

u2good2b4gotn Trump is actually smart and has done some great things that have been proven....Your girl has proven to be out of her league...It's not like the left with fake, unproven facts....If you see any of the interviews with this woman, she's an idiot when it comes to politics...It's right in your face...What do you want Trump to answer? Lol

In other words, I’m too stupid to debate Ben! 😆

[@SuperVerst]

She's proven she can't even explain in simple terms her views to a CNN interviewer. She'll be destroyed and her career over it she goes against not only Ben but anyone that has opposing views. Hell, a 12 year old, if he or she speaks clearly with actual facts will destroy her in a debate. What's really sad is Cortez, unlike someone like Candace Owens isn't smart enough to realize she's being used as a puppet by the Liberals. It's a trail to see how this younger generation takes to a young lady around their age group with the liberal views on democratic socialism. They'll keep her in the limelight until she isn't useful anymore then, when she isn't useful any more throw her out like trash.

[@j.p.9522]

The problem is that Ben Shapiro could argue that rain isn't wet, and still win the debate. In 2005, he made jailing Iraq War protestors sound reasonable.

[@jond5830]

If enough men would challenge the claims women like this make (cops, preachers, etc.) they wouldn't be so quick to make them. Why? Because there are consequences for lying, and if those consequences are brought forth, that shuts down bad behavior. That's why little kids don't steal cookies out of the jar once mommy and daddy actually swat the child. Consequences. Sad, how easily a lot of garbage in the U.S. could have been avoided had authentic equality in consequences been enforced instead of just benefits. And even then, pending on your crotch or skin color, some of those benefits are OVER compensated in the name of "equality". Whatever happened to earning it, and teaching young people the value of earning it. Oh, right. The democrats . . .

That rejection of Shapiro's debate invitation may have been the most intelligent decision ever made by Ocasio-Cortez. She would have been exposed as totally unprepared to be a law maker. But . . . the more she speaks the clearer it becomes that she's an empty suit.

[@AndrewAce.]

*nemo227* She could have at least given a better excuse than: _"no, you're a meanie!"_

[@nemo227]

Andrew Ace . . . agreed. I guess the price of liberty is that almost anyone can run for office. Her opponent must have been pretty bad or maybe her district is like some others, a popularity contest without substance. And now I'm starting to consider: how "do-nothing" was her opponent, an incumbent. It's very hard for an incumbent to lose an election. He must have been VERY complacent and out of touch with people in his district.

[@AndrewAce.]

Not only did he barely show up to rally, but the voter turnout was well below 20%. He got far too comfortable, but it's shocking that she got the necessary votes she did with no plans of how to adequately run office. And now this foolishness. Sad...

[@nemo227]

Andrew Ace . . . A few minutes ago I was reading an analysis of a possible reason for her win; with charts & graphs, etc. The writers concluded that gentrifying of neighborhoods was a contributing factor. I'm sure that many factors came into play.

[@oceanwaves83]

The word "social" throws people off. It's just too harmless sounding. People think about positive human interaction and sociological aspects of society, when really, "social" has a different meaning when used in the phrases "Social Justice" or "Social Democracy". This "social" has to do with Socialism, the same way "Nazi" has to do with Nazism. Fascism was essentially Socialism (often deemed "National Socialism"), but it allowed for some private property and private businesses (which were heavily regulated), had a religious aspect, and a nationalistic aspect. It was collectivism all the same: big government, anti-capitalism, anti-indiviualism, etc. The Nazi's were horrible people, an obvious truth. But socialism and communism (as well as their many versions such as Maoism, Stalinism, Leninism, etc... which allow for leftists to constantly say "that wasn't socialism/communism", but I digress) are responsible for MUCH MORE mass murder than Nazism. However, there are very few words in the English language that carry a more negative image than the term "Nazi"; while there are few words more harmless than the word "social". If we look at "social" and "Nazi" for one second, as the root words to "Socialism" and "Nazism", it can highlight just how meaningless the modern buzz words describing collectivist societies are. We've all heard "it's not Socialism, it's Democratic Socialism!" as well as "It's not Socialism at all, it's a Social Democracy". At an uneducated first glance, it sounds better, doesn't it? Now imagine "It's not Nazism, it's Democratic Nazism" or "it's not Nazism at all, it's a Nazi Democracy". Somehow, it all sounds just as bad. And that is because it *would* be just as bad. Once a country moves far enough left, there is a domino effect that is nearly impossible to stop. When leftists claim that those opposing a Social Democracy are merely overreacting, all I hear is "you silly goose, we're not knocking down the last domino, only the first one". Many countries in Europe (notably Scandinavia) have encountered this already. Before they knew it, they found themselves in economic (as well as healthcare) crisis, and were forced to re-privatize and deregulate key industries/enterprises in order to bounce back. Even as small, relatively ethnically homogeneous countries receiving copious amounts of foreign aid, the amount of Socialism in their economy proved to be too much. It's a shame that so many people are so ignorant of history. I am not saying that "Social Democracy", "Democratic Socialism" and "Socialism" are synonymous. But I am saying that they all lead down the same path, with some temporarily not going as far down said path. Hopefully more people will begin to look at the word "social" differently in the future. The word "Democracy" itself sounds great at an uneducated first glance. People seem to forget that there is no better way to dismiss the needs of minorities by imposing "majority rule". They also seem to forget that the United States is not a democracy, but a Constitutional Republic. The electoral college gives every *state* a voice, as we are the United *States* of America. We are not the United Major Cities. People who live in cities have an entirely different set of issues and values for which they vote. What is best for urban America is rarely what is best for rural America. And what is decided by a majority of our citizenry isn't always what's best for our nation as a whole. Income tax is theft. As soon as you make money, it immediately becomes a part of your total sum of money. The government then forces you to take some of your money and give it them. So really, it's no different than taking money out of every citizen's personal safe or bank account, right? Not so fast. Despite it being obvious theft, there would be a strange form of equality exhibited if that were the case. Income tax, instead, only steals from those trying to better themselves financially (and legally). There is no such thing as "taxing the rich". There is only "tax those who legally make a lot of money". An innumerable amount of people do not pay taxes in America: drug dealers, illegals, filthy rich people with no official legal income, prostitutes, and various other criminals. Texas and Florida have zero income tax and exhibit economies larger and more prosperous than most countries. All they have is sales tax. I support the "Fair Tax" and I hope anyone reading this will look into it. You'll find that it has much more advantages than I have mentioned here. But regardless of whether or not you feel some income tax is necessary, it's rather obvious that, in countries labeled as "Social Democracies", taxes have gotten out of hand.

I would argue that Ocasio’s response is like that of a highly manipulative borderline narcissist, classic indeed, in terms of manipulative shifts. If this was just an everyday conversation she would have effectively shifted the focus of the challenge into a conversation of guilt and shame on the individual making that challenge, but what do i know, LoL. I’m no professional and therefore can NOT make any diagnosis, I can, however, keep the focus on the matter at hand when engaged in a conversation and not get sucked into being made the bad guy for holding one accountable. Also, Ms. Ocasio is quite delusional or a blatant liar, love how she put the spin on the video which was a parody on her interview regarding Isreal and Palestine 😰 you know... the occupation of, etc 😂😂😂😂 lmao. Omg, what a riot 😬 she probably thinks wakanda is real too. Ha ha ha

[@ShifuCareaga]

PANCHOVILLA4U67 agree. She's a stuck-up elitist bourgeoisie

[@PANCHOVILLA4U67]

Shifu Careaga that too

[@mad_titanthanos]

Can anyone tell me the names of these women in black and white?

[@chalktalkwithshari4173]

Why are we even giving her name airtime?

[@ralphbanta1523]

She's scared she can't debate not that smart for real political debate

[@edwardwoods5977]

the best way to get back at Ben is to debate him and put him in his place

[@krakon6565]

Who?

[@paulallen-01]

And you think she’s sharp enough to out debate Ben ?

[@lees.4084]

Edward Woods Cortez knows shes not up to that task...

[@apophis7712]

Edward Woods Not sure she would want to listen to Gish Gallop for an entire hour. (Sargon wouldn't watch it)

[@edwardwoods5977]

[@JonathanVachon777]

If the best you have to say about your product is something bad about your competition, you don’t HAVE a product.

[@fast02gt]

Omg I can’t imagine her making any decisions that could mean life or death for any living being.

[@elizabethudoudo]

Oh! She said Republicans were afraid of herself, a conservative asked to face her and she calls him sexist.🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Richard_is_cool]

The simple fact she called this catcalling just proves her narcism.

[@BAGELMENSK]

I could not possibly understand how this is like catcalling.

[@utterlyviolet]

I'd love to see this debate happen, but why couldn't Ben call her campaign staff to see if she had time for a debate first?

[@lylecosmopolite]

In O-C's mind, Shapiro issued a public invitation in order to back her into a corner where she could not say No without looking weak or cowardly. She therefore countered the public invitation by creating a vicious analogy between a public invitation to debate from someone she does not know, and does not agree with about anything, with a catcall made on a city street. My hunch is that O-C did not invent this trick. She may even have been briefed into pulling that particular rabbit out of the stage hat of life. It is already evident to me that from here on, O-C will appear only with journalists and commentators she deems sympathetic to her cause. I also bet that she will refuse to debate her GOP opponent in November, a college professor and political novice. She has everything to lose and nothing to gain by debating him. O-C's district is 51% Latino, 20% AA. Hence by winning the primary, she locked up the election. Why should she risk anything by debating someone as clever and aggressive as Shapiro?

[@rushfan9thcmd]

What exactly about her makes her think anyone would want to cat call her in the first place?

[@helluvastart]

these people have worms in their heads.

[@scbrewallamerican1807]

Shapiro vs Cortez is like Godzilla vs Minnie Mouse. Not a match, but worth seeing just to hear the squish sound.

[@blight6667]

Lmao she knew she would get owned so all she had left was the sexism card lmaoo

[@gaiaauthor9756]

People still defend Cortez although a majority of us knows that Ben would run circles around her.

[@dennisshaw7828]

Now we need him to challenge Ilhan Omar also.

[@phildegrave7853]

Like omg he was like catcalling me like omg!

[@thevileness]

LMAO when you know what your saying is completely wrong, Ben Shapiro is not the person to debate.
